The Brill Knowledge Graph: A Database of Bibliographic References and Index Terms extracted from Books in Humanities and Social Sciences

We present a complete dataset of linked bibliography and index data, partially disambiguated and augmented with references to external resources, extracted from the Brill’s archive in the field of Classics. Processed book identifiers are listed in a separate text file. Text fragments extracted from different books via this process are then parsed and compared using a string-based similarity metric to form clusters of bibliographic references to the same published work or (variants of) the same subjects discussed in these books. The entire set of references was then disambiguated using Google Books and Crossref APIs.
